Dead rising heavy machine gun

The Heavy Machinegun

The Official Dead Rising Guide lists 141 weapons in Dead Rising, not including the vehicles or the bicycle. (See Official guide list of weapons below)[1]

Inventory[]

Some larger and heavier weapons are two-handed, which means Frank can't keep the weapon in his inventory if he cycles to another weapon (for example, televisions, potted plants, cardboard boxes, Shopping cart), while others weapons are small enough that Frank can hold it in his inventory while brandishing another item (for example, handguns, all food, lead pipe). Frank starts with only 4 inventory spots, but raising levels with Prestige Points can raise the maximum number of items Frank can hold.[2]

Survivors and weapon longevity[]

When given to a survivor, weapons that are about run out of ammo or break (as indicated by their flashing icon in the item slot) will not do so. This is a good way to lengthen the life of a strong weapon, such as a katana or small chainsaw.[3]

Weapon strength[]

Zombie have distinctly different levels of endurance (how much damage a zombie can take before it is killed). Once the endurance of zombies is known, weapons can be tested to see how strong the weapon is. The strength range table below categorizes weapon strength, for example:

  • the Lead Pipe kills a thin man zombie and fat man zombie with one hit.
  • the Hunting Knife kills a thin man with one hit, but kills the fat man only with two hits, therefore it is weaker than the lead pipe, and falls between the thin man and fat man range, or "1 hit to kill thin man", a 5 on the scale.

Weapon strength is based upon Frank at level one during the daytime. See Zombie endurance for the differences between the time of day and Frank's level.

Note: Eventually this table will be integrated into all weapons pages and the table above. This table is sortable, click the squares with the triangles inside.
